MARIUS NESTOR
Marius is a member of the Softpedia team since early 2005 and his hard work can be witnessed on our Linux section and the corresponding news category. He's a huge supporter of the open source ideology and community.
His journey into the wonderful world of open source began somewhere in the year 2000, when he first installed Mandrake Linux 8.2 (now known as Mandriva) and Red Hat 6.2. Since then, Marius has tested hundreds of Linux and BSD flavors. He is a "self-taught" person, and his current goal is to "instruct" others in the ways of Linux. His favorite distro and main operating system is Ubuntu, which he uses daily both at work and at home.
In his spare time, Marius likes to improve his photography skills.
